The Greensboro (Ga) Harold says: We
heartily endorss the following. In the
policy here indicaxed ve zee the oaly hope
Of national prosperity in this country. 1t
10 the only policy which can promote the
Agricultural interests, and everything de-
ponds on that:
pared and published, which il correct,
show . large increase in the number of
small farms in most parts or the country,
except In the new states and territories of
the West. The large farms of other days
are being divided and sold in parcels.
This Is tendency TO increase the number
and homes Of small farmers, and men
think more of their country, and are more
inclined TO promote its interests when
they personally own part of it; and are
less inclined TO communism mobocracy
and lawlessness generally. 1t is therefore
the interest Of . country to have in it as
many land owners as possible.
1t tends also TO better state OF farming
and increased productiveness- When a
large majority of the men have each "a
little land well titled, a little house we'll
filed, and little wife we'll willed the
country prospers. Each one wants to
save and take care of his property and
thus secure public safety by each one tax
ing care of himself and his own. Where
IS on large farms there are necessarily
many dependents who in many cases have
little care except to get their wages, and
do not take the care they would Of their
own property, nor do they feel the inter
est in the moral and political welfare Of
the country they otherwise would. To
them it IL all the same whether taxes are
high or low. They pay none, and if those
around become demoralized and . mob
RACES, it destroys no property Of theirs,
and often they are ready to join in, just
for the fun of the thing
That this ought not to be so, we all
know; but that it is often so, can not be
denied. Therefore, where it is at all pos
sible, let every family have home of its
own, tieing it to the place, the country and
all its interests Then they will likely be
better citizens and more interested 10 the
general welfare and prosperity of the
country and there will be less lawlessness
and less general disorder.

Taking rO Rafs1ng Peaches Again
 Promises to be Profitable.

Taking rO Raising Peaches Again
 Promises to be Profitable.
 GREENWICH, Conn.,, Aug. 11.-Though this is the off year for fruit in Connecticut, farmers who few years ago set out orchards of peach trees are happy. The prospects are that they will have large yield of fine fruit. The Connecticut peach differs from the Ma ryland, Delaware and New Jersey varieties. It is larger, smoother and of a more delicate tint, and ripens much later in the season. Consequently the raising of peaches in Con- necticut is a very profitable business. From $2 50 to $3 per basket is received by the grower, and so rapidly are they bought up when they reach the local markets that few baskets ever go to outside markets. Last year few baskets were sent to New York, and dealers could not supply the demand at $5 per basket. The largest peach orchards in the State are near Meriden and along the Connecticut river between Hartford and Say brook, but there are small orchards scattered here and there all over the State.
 No accurate statement can be made of what the crop will be this year, but good judges say that it will not be far short of 20, 900 baskets. It is safe to say that the growers will receive an average price of $3 per basket, making $60, 900 for branch of the States horticulture only really just begun. Of other fruits there will be a fair crop.
 Potatoes, corn, oats and rye are looking finely, and the hay crop will be up to the average, though the farmers have been late getting it in, owing to the wet weather. Having began before July 4th, and many farmers have fields still standing, waiting for dry weather before cutting 1t.

ssDon't Marry Him,n

''He is such fckle, inconstant fellow, you will never be happy with him." said Esther's friends when they learned of her engagement to young man who bore the reputation of being sad f1irt Esther, how. ever, knew that her lover had good qualities, and she was willing to take the risk In nine cases out of ten it would have proved a mistake; but Esther was an uncommon girl and to every ones surprise Fred made a model husband. How was ita We'll, Esther had cheerful, sunny temper and a great deal of tact. Then she enjoyed perfect health and was always so sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred found his own home the most pleasant, and his own wife more agreeable than any other being. As the years passed and he saw other women of Esther's age grow sickly, faded and querulous, he realized more and more that he had Ca jewel of wife, Good health was half the secret of Esther's success. She retained her vitali- ty and good looks, because she warded off feminine weaknessness and ailments by the use of Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

A Good Deacon's SurprIse-A Cow
 Came to the Door.
 A few days ago Deacon Gardner of Greene vile, lost valuable COW, and felt the loss to great extent. But the good old deacon lives in Greeneville, place where sympathy and brotherly love prevail, and that was greatly to his advantage in this instance, in asmuch as he had kind friends to watch over him, and their watching was of substantial nature. Wednesday night the deacon was called from his bed, and when he opened the door he was greeted by 8 COW, who stood where she could look in on him when he pre- scented himself in answer to the summons. The COW didn't ring the bell; that was done by the deacon's pastor, the Rev. J. J. Cooper, who with other friends came with the COW to make the call. It was pleasant surprise to the deacon when he was presented with the animal, fine one, which his friends had procured to replace the one he had lost And when they saw by the dim light of evening the gratitude expressed on the venerable face of their neighbor each one of the party felt truly ''it is more blessed to give than to re- ceive. ."-Norwich Bulletin.

PEACHES FOR SALE.

A Light Supply and the Quality Below
 the Average-A Word to the House.
 wives Who Want to Lay In Their
 Supply.
 A marketman said yesterday: The re- ceipts of peaches in this city thus far this season have been much lighter than in the corresponding period last year, and the fruit generally is much poorer in quality, although
 the season opened about week earlier than
 usual. When calculations about this years
 crop were made, while the trees were bloom
 ing and just after the fruit began to form, it
 was generally believed that the yield would
 be good one and that the total production from Delaware and Maryland would amount
 to between e,000,00O and 0,000, 900 baskets, Now, however, well informed shippers and consignees say that if 3,OO0,000 baskets are forwarded from that part of the peaoh-grow- | ing district it will be all that can be expect | ed.
 The frait has not matured, and the pro- | portion that has dropped from the trees is | much larger than for many seasons past. | The great heat and the humid atmosphere that have prevailed for the last month o1
 more are made to bear the responsibility fol the decreased production. Such of the fruit
 very little that is now coming into market will keep more than a day ol | two Many of the peach growers are pick | ing the fruit before it fully ripens in order ! to save it, for if the peaches are permitted to ripen on the trees they become soft and watery. The ''rose buzz" new enemy o1 1 the peach tree, has also done much damage
 to the growing crop, and in many orchards | the fruit has been completely eaten away by ! this pest so that only the stone is left hang 1 ing on the stem. It was expected that the | Delaware crop would be slightly in excess oi last years, but 1t is said now that it will be only about one-third of the amount pro l duced in 1886. The New Jersey crop vii
 also be much smaller than last year. The varieties now in market are the Early Yorks | Mountain Rose and Early Crawfords All of these peaches are of the free stone variety. The Mountain Rose
 is preferred by shippers, as it ii | 6rmer and harder and has better color. The Crawford is yellow peach with fine flavor | and very juicy. The Early York is small | white fruit and is @sgood eating" peach. IT will begin to come in from the Delaware re, gioH, and dealers know that when this fruit arrives the season is at its height. The ship | ments of New Jersey peaches will begin next week, but the receipts from that State, as al
 ready noted, are expected to be light. The Hudson river crop is also reported to be in pool | condition, the fruit not fully maturing. A ! well known dealer said yesterday: "If any housekeeper is able to lay in her supply of peaches for preserves for next winter at fifty cents basket she will be fortunate. She | may get such a chance, but she will have to l watch very closely for it."

Wrenched His Back.

LYNDONvIILB, Orleans Co.,, N. Y., April 2, 1885.
 About year ago imprudently stepped of the Hudson River cars while they were in motion. In trying to save myself from a fearful fall I wrenched my back terribly. The next day could not walk and I suffered pain from my neck to my heels. Various appliea- tions were made, but nothing which was done abated my suffering. Being anxious to get up and attend to business I determined to place three Allcock's Porous Plasters one above the other on my back. In about an hour and half they caused considerable itching. The pain and soreness sensibly de- creased and I rested pretty we'll that night. The next morning the itching began to be quite severe under the plasters. To get some relief had my back rubbed crossways over the plasters. was surprised within two hours afterward to find the pain and soreness almost gone. I stayed in bed that day and the morning afterward got up and attended to business. o. Y. PETTMAN.
